[OT] Shredded paper reassembled

[Peter]

Afaik reassebling shredded documents is one of the things more serious 
spy outfits would do, according to books. Ashes followed by mortar and 
pestle and mixing into a large heap looks good.

As to automatic reassembly, there could be something to it. Scan the 
strips as is and have a computer match fractional patterns on the images 
probably, to find possible neighboring places, assemble these as force 
vectors (towards relevant parts of the same symbol) per edge of strip, 
then reassemble using the resulting rat's nest for placement.
